Release by Company Clause Samples
The 'Release by Company' clause serves to formally discharge certain parties from liability or claims that the company may have against them. Typically, this clause specifies the individuals or entities being released, the scope of claims covered (such as those arising from past actions or specific transactions), and any exceptions to the release. For example, it may apply to former employees, contractors, or business partners in the context of a settlement or contract termination. The core function of this clause is to provide legal certainty and finality by preventing the company from pursuing further claims against the released parties, thereby resolving potential disputes and facilitating smoother business transitions.
